[OSM-talk] Why to set up an own mapserver (was: Re: Map Kibera import needs some mapper love)

2010-01-13 Thread Alexander Menk
Hi,

nice ..

I heard about that project. I was wondering why that approach was 
choosen (first set up a dedicated OSM server for mapping, then importing 
the whole stuff) ?

Hi,

The first link tells:
On January 11, 2009, MapKibera public domain data was imported 
into OpenStreetMap

Perhaps that's the reason, a wish to collect data first to own repository 
which makes it possible to publish the data under different license 
than CC-BY-SA? Or perhaps not, because further work is going to be done
directly to OSM database.
